MUMBAI: A 30-year-old police constable posted at the American Consulate here was killed today after two bullets from his service weapon pierced through his skull, police said.

The incident took place early this morning behind the Consulate in Breach Candy area in South Mumbai, where he was posted, police said.

It was not, however, clear if it was a suicide, police added.

"Constable Deepak Vitkare was posted at the rear of the Consulate building. We are yet to ascertain whether it was a suicide or a case of accidental firing," Joint Police Commissioner (Law and Order) Rajneesh Seth said.

According to sources, policemen heard a sound of bullets at the Consulate premises. They looked around and found Vitkare with serious injuries in his skull.Ads by Google
